listing.about

A community server that connects an assistant to Jira and Confluence. You can search issues with JQL, read and create issues, change their status, and search, read, create and update Confluence pages and comments. The README lists 93 tools in total.

It runs locally over stdio with uvx mcp-atlassian. Cloud needs your site URL, email and an API token. Server/Data Center uses a Personal Access Token. It is not an official Atlassian product and is separate from Atlassian's hosted server.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio mcp-atlassian --env "JIRA_URL=<YOUR_JIRA_URL>" --env "JIRA_USERNAME=<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>" --env "JIRA_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>" --env "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>" -- uvx mcp-atlassian
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. mcp-atlassian should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "<YOUR_JIRA_URL>",
        "JIRA_USERNAME": "<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Needs uv (Python) on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "<YOUR_JIRA_URL>",
        "JIRA_USERNAME": "<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Needs uv (Python) on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

VS Code

Add it to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the secret the first time and stores it securely:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "<YOUR_JIRA_URL>",
        "JIRA_USERNAME": "<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "${input:jira-api-token}",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "${input:confluence-api-token}"
      }
    }
  },
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "jira-api-token",
      "description": "JIRA_API_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    },
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "confluence-api-token",
      "description": "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN",
      "password": true
    }
  ]
}

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "<YOUR_JIRA_URL>",
        "JIRA_USERNAME": "<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add mcp-atlassian --env "JIRA_URL=<YOUR_JIRA_URL>" --env "JIRA_USERNAME=<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>" --env "JIRA_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>" --env "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>" -- uvx mcp-atlassian

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-atlassian]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-atlassian"]
env = { JIRA_URL = "<YOUR_JIRA_URL>", JIRA_USERNAME = "<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>", JIRA_API_TOKEN = "<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>", CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN = "<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>" }

Needs uv (Python) on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add -e "JIRA_URL=<YOUR_JIRA_URL>" -e "JIRA_USERNAME=<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>" -e "JIRA_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>" -e "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>" mcp-atlassian uvx mcp-atlassian

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-atlassian": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-atlassian"
      ],
      "env": {
        "JIRA_URL": "<YOUR_JIRA_URL>",
        "JIRA_USERNAME": "<YOUR_JIRA_USERNAME>",
        "JIRA_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_JIRA_API_TOKEN>",
        "CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN": "<YOUR_CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs uv (Python) on your computer. Replace the placeholders with your own values.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/mcp-atlassian into my MCP client?

No. MCP Atlassian runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is uvx mcp-atlassian.

Does MCP Atlassian need an API key?

Yes. It reads JIRA_URL, JIRA_USERNAME, JIRA_API_TOKEN and CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN from its environment, and JIRA_API_TOKEN and CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN are secrets. Put the value in your client's config on your own machine, never in a shared file.

Is MCP Atlassian a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with uvx mcp-atlassian, which needs uv (Python).

What can MCP Atlassian do?

You can search Jira issues with JQL, get issue details and create and update Jira issues.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read MCP Atlassian's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
